Bacon, as usual, is very good even when he's slumming, and as a trashy B-movie redo of Death Wish the movie works well enough for a Saturday afternoon with a case of brewskies.

This graphically violent film suffers from cursorily developed characters whose primary function is to advance the creaky plot.

The graininess of the film generally makes everything look as ugly as it feels. Death Sentence deserves no reprieve.

A brainless, bullets-blazing killfest.
